- Corfe Castle (50.6395° N, 2.0566° W)
- The Cotswolds (51.8330° N, 1.8433° W)

STEP 2: CREATE AN API

STEP 3: CREATE A VISUAL MAP
Sign into Google, then go to Google EarthLinks to an external site. and use the API to create a visual map showing each location detailed in the scenario. Alternatively, you could install the Python version of the Google Earth API and integrate it with your OpenWeather coding project.
